B Correct answer
Explanation

Tracheids are elongated cells with thick lignified secondary walls that provide both structural support and water conduction in plants. They are a type of sclerenchyma tissue, which consists of dead cells with thick walls at maturity. Parenchyma cells are thin-walled and living, while collenchyma have unevenly thickened but unlignified walls.
